Authorities Thursday publicly identified two patrolmen who fatally shot an apparently suicidal man when he allegedly advanced on them at his East Village residence while holding a knife.
The events that led to the deadly law enforcement gunfire began shortly before 7 p.m. Monday, when a resident of an apartment complex in the 1100 block of E Street made an emergency call to report that his roommate was suicidal, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office, which investigates shootings carried out by personnel with the San Diego Police Department.
SDPD Officers Gavin Isa and Eric Moreno then entered the residence, contacted six people who were inside with Engel and escorted them outside."The officers commanded to drop the knife, and when he refused to comply and continued advancing towards them, discharged their weapons, the suspect," Krugh said.Isa and Moreno have both been with the San Diego Police Department for 4 1/2 years. They are assigned to SDPD Central Division patrol.
